covered with a lot of dangerous places
and have made a few videos about some of
them before however there may not be a
location on the planet that would kill
you quicker than this tiny island off
the coast of Brazil well and it's called
ela - Kumada grande or better known as
snake island so the danger is pretty
obvious snake island is to the surprise
of no-one covered in snakes and the
Brazilian government has made it illegal
for anybody to visit without a strict
authorization this is because the snakes
that cover the island are both an
endangered species and extremely
venomous so any idiot that visits has
the potential to both eradicate an
entire species and/or die within two
minutes of setting foot the only people
allowed in our occasional visits by the
Brazilian Navy and carefully selected
scientists who are hand-picked and
vetted by the Brazilian Ministry of the
Environment that being said though of
what would happen if you were
mysteriously teleported from where you
are right now onto the island how could
you survive and what would your
experience there be like for starters
the island is located 33 kilometers off
the coast of Brazil so swimming back to
safety isn't exactly an option the
island is also very tiny it's about four
hundred and thirty thousand square
meters an area which is almost identical
in size to Vatican City the world's
smallest country unlike Vatican City
though which has 2.3 popes per square
mile
snake island has zero Pope's but hordes
and hordes of snakes the species that
inhabits the island is the golden
lancehead hit Viper which is both badass
sounding and extremely dangerous they're
considered endangered because they only
exist on this island
a long time ago snake island was
connected to the Brazilian mainland but
rising sea levels transformed it into an
island and trap the snakes there forever
the island became its own separate
universe for the snakes we're forced to
adapt to the circumstances there were
and are no man
that exists on the islands say for the
occasional unlucky human who washes up
the snakes had no possible prey except
for the occasional seabird that landed
in the trees and so the snakes put all
of their experience points into venom
and developed one that was so potent it
could kill or paralyze the birds within
moments of a bite the snakes had to
become aggressive and immediately kill
the birds as they landed because that
became their only source of food and
thousands of years later that's still
the reality because humans and
researchers so rarely visit the island
we don't exactly know how many snakes
exist there nor exactly how bad a bite
for one of them would be however we do
have some educated guesses some
estimates on the size of the Viper
population go as high as four hundred
thirty thousand which is insane that
would be roughly one snake for every
square meter and these aren't tiny
little garden snakes either they grow up
to half a metre long and if that's the
case no matter where you go on the
island you're probably never more than a
meter away from a big-ass slithery venom
a boy however other researchers
guesstimate that there may be more like
four thousand Vipers on the island but
that would still be a ton that's like
one every six square yards or so across
the island on average no matter what
you're gonna run into snakes while
you're stranded on this island so how
bad is their bite since we don't have
any confirmed data on a human getting
bit by one yet we have to rely on some
assumptions we know that bites from
regular lancehead snakes in mainland
Brazil carry a seven percent risk of
death if the bite goes untreated and a
three percent risk even if it is treated
however we do also know that a chemical
analysis of a snake Island Vipers
revealed that their venom is five times
more potent than that of their mainland
cousins based on that my random-ass
ballpark number is that you could expect
a thirty five percent chance of death if
you ever get bitten by one since you're
stranded on the island and there's no
way that you're getting treated in time
their venom is hemotoxic which eats away
at the flesh and tissue so symptoms
after a bite probably will include
swelling nausea / vomiting intestinal
bleeding kidney failure brain
hemorrhages and
flesh around the bite literally
dissolving so where can you go on the
island to avoid the snakes there aren't
any beaches
they're all just rocky cliffs so that's
probably not a very good idea the
central part of the island is covered in
a small rain forest which is where most
of the snakes live so yeah I've probably
best to avoid that as well
the rest of the island is covered in
open grassland and exposed rocks so
those areas may be better but your only
options for food are basically trying to
catch the bird before the snakes get to
them trying to use something for fishing
on the stony cliffs or to actually hunt
the snakes themselves which are all
pretty insane choices your best chance
of shelter and probably getting rescued
would be inside of this lighthouse which
is the only structure on the island it
is functional but it's also completely
automated so it has no human crew it's
only occasionally checked up on by the
Brazilian Navy so who knows how long
you'd have to wait there for and who
even knows what the door inside would be
unlock most likely you're gonna be stuck
outside and food would be the least of
your concerns at least to begin with the
only source of water on the island will
be whenever it rains so you better hope
it does soon of all the islands in all
the world to find yourself stranded on
snake island in the Atlantic is probably
the worst of them now while you're
stranded on snake island you'll probably
have a difficult time accessing the
internet from your phone but when you
get rescued you'll want to double check
that your accounts are all still secure
and this is the part where I'll tell you
about the fantastic deal that - like
calm is earlier last year real-life lore
got compromised while I was away on a
trip because I used a dumb password like
rll IRL password it's just that
remembering passwords that are any more
complex than that hard but what if there
was one central place where I could
store all of my complex passwords behind
just one super secure password that a
simpleton like me could actually
remember and then what if it filled
those super secure passwords in on my
devices when I go to log into websites
and then what if it also had plenty of
other included features like secure
autofill for payment info breach alerts
whenever an account I have is
compromised a VPN with country selection
and dark web monitoring to see if your
data is being bought and sold on the
dark
and then what if all of this was for a
ridiculously low monthly price
well it's called dashlane and you can
get a 30-day free trial at - late calm /

the code rll to get 10% off when you
upgrade to premium it's pretty cool and
